---- NOON at Mana's house inside the living room playing on her sega dreamcast----
Justin was kicking Lance's butt at this Mortal Kombat thing while Mana, Erik, Terri, and Peggy were in the kitchen making pizza for lunch. Lance could be heard yelling at Justin, saying that he cheated, making everyone howl with laughter. Desiree and Katelyn were playing with the other kids in the playroom down the hall from the living room.
Chris loaded up his gun and stuffed into his jeans pocket. He pulled on his Fu man SKeeto hat and put on his metallic blue shades. Finally he grabbed his keys and some rope and headed out of the hotel to his car. He started up the car and headed over to Mana's house where he knew they would be.
----2pm----
Chris turned off his Zebra jeep and stepped out his car. He walked up the front walk and rang the doorbell. No-one answered so he rang it again. Desiree and Katelyn yelled " WE GOT IT !!!!." as they ran to the front door eagerly. Desiree got on Katelyn's back but fell off before she reached the knob. Katelyn heard giggles outside the door so she told her sister to hurry up. Finally they got the door open and the girls looked up in awe at the tall man in front of them then quickly slammed the door.
Mana -What are you guys doing ?.
Erik - Who was at the door ?.
Desiree - You told us not to open the door and let people in we don't know....
Katelyn - .....We didn't know the tall man so we shut the door.
Terri - It's okay. ( hugs each girl as does Erik as Mana opens the front door ).
Mana - Uh, who are you ?.
Chris - You know.
Mana - AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!.'
Chris- Well hello to you 2.
Erik - Mana what's wrong ?. Why'd you scream ?.
Chris ( as Erik approaches the door with Terri, the twins, and Dawn who came by at 1pm , Chris takes his mask and shades off ). - Long time no see my friends.
Terri - Oh my god, no.
Dawn - GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE CHRIS !!!!!!!!!!!.
Chris - Not without my girl.
Erik - Forget it Chris. You're not gonna hurt her anymore.
Desiree - Daddy ( crying like Katelyn was ) - What's happning ?
Erik - Chris hurt mommy a long time ago and now he wants to take her away.
Katelyn - ( yells )- You can't take my mommy !!!!!!.
Dawn - Katelyn, he's kinda insane so don't tick him off right now.
Chris - Come Terri, ( steps inside making everyone shriek. no-one else hears 'cause the TV's up too loud. ) let's go back to the hotel and I'll take you to a wonderful place.
Terri - ( holds tight to Erik and vice-versa ) - No Chris just get the fuk away from me !!!!!!!.
Chris - Well then, I guess I'm gonna have to take more drastic measures ( pulls out his gun ). Now who's gonna die first ?. How bout you Erik ?. No-one move or their head gets blown off. *
Terri - NO !!!!.
Chris - Stay out of this honey. ( he pulls the trigger, no-one could move b/c they were petrified with fear ) Goodbye Erik. ( he falls to the ground, shot in the stomach ).
Desiree - Daddy !!!!!!.
Katelyn - Daddy !!!!!.
Desiree runs to Chris and starts to 'beat him up.' Chris kicks her away and she keeps on hitting and kicking him. He tried to shoot Mana and Dawn but they dodged each bullet and got cover. Katelyn was by her daddy with her hands on his stomach, thinking she could make the blood go away. Desiree kept coming at Chris as he shot at everyone else who came in the room. He ordered everyone to lay down on the floor and not move. They did as Chris told them b/c they didn't wanna get shot.
Finally Chris just got fed up with Desiree and picked her up by her shirt collar. He flung her onto the floor and pointed the gun at her.
Terri - CHRIS NO !!!!!!!.
She dived for Desiree, but the bullet hit her in the shoulder.
Chris - Now come with me Terri. COME ON !!!!!!!!.
Terri - No Chris. How could you shoot my daughter and husband huh?!?!?!?!?! WHY ?!?!?!?! ( crying hysterically as she says it ).
Chris- ( grabs her ) - Well, if you had come with me in the 1st place , none would have happened now would it sweetheart ?. ( starts to take her away as Katelyn cries for Desiree as Mana holds her and tries to stop the bleeding ).
Terri struggles in Chris' grasp as he takes her out of the house but can't get loose. Chris pulls her towards him and tired kiss as she turns away. He throws her on the ground and holds her face still and kisses her. She kicks him and he does it again. Terri screamed for help as loud she could, hoping someone in the neighborhood would hear her. Unbeknownst to Chris, Justin and JC come running out the house, as he picks up Terri and tried to put her in his car.
She managed to stall long enough for them to jump Chris and knock him down. Justin grabs Terri and picks her up and sprints to the house as JC struggles with Chris and the gun. It goes off in the struggle and Justin whipped around. Luckily , no-one was shot ( the gun was pointed at the car ). JC continued to struggle with Chris as Justin watched with a panicked Terri crying heavily into his chest. Finally, JC manages to get the gun out of Chris' hands and throws it under the car. He gets up only to be tripped by Chris.Chris gets on top of him and they wrestle on the ground. Chris got kicked in the groin and JC ran into the house before Chris cold get his composure and gun back.
The door was locked tight as Chris ran back up to the house without his gun. He pounded on the door making everyone terrified. Joey and Dawn quickly locked every other possible entry way into the house while Julie calls 911 to get ambulance over there ASAP. Chris finally retrieves his gun and fire at the house until it is empty and speeds away back to the hotel.
---- At the hospital----
Erik and Desiree were rushed into the ER as the doctors immediately began to try and save them. Everyone was in hysterics as they were in the OR. Terri and Katelyn were the ones most affected by this. Katelyn kept saying " I couldn't make daddy and Desi better." Terri kept telling her " It's okay honey, the doctors are doing everything they can to save Daddy and your sister."
Jen heard about what happened and called the other dancers. Hurriedly, they all drove to the hospital to comfort the others and to pray that Erik and Desiree would survive. Jen couldn't believe that Chris would shoot a 4 yr. little girl. She knew that Erik would be a target but she was shocked that Chris was sick enough to try and kill a child. ' What do you expect? He's beyond insane.' Jen mused as she and the dancer ran through the hospital parking lot and up to where Terri and the others were stationed , waiting to hear of any news.
Jen - TERRI !!!!!.
Terri - Jen, Mikka, Gina !!!!!.
Hugs were exchanged they all cried. Gina asked if they had heard anything yet, and Robyn shook her head no as everyone tried to comfort Terri and
Katelyn , which was tough since no-one could figure out what to say and make them calm down.
Mikka - It'll be alright. Come on guys let's pray.
Everyone got in a circle with their pastor who had arrived and one of the nurses who had been there when Terri gave birth.
" Dear God, we ask of you to watch over Erik Thomas von Detten and Desiree-Alexandra Marie von Detten as they are in the care of skilled doctors and surgeons. Lord keep them safe and bring them home to their family and friends. Their loved ones are in grief now lord as they are in surgery as the doctors try to heal them. We ask for your touch lord and hope that the operations goes smoothly. AMEN."
Terri went to sleep in a cot as Katelyn cuddled up next to her.
----10 hours later----
The doctors came out as everyone look up with hope dancing in their eyes. He shook his head. He told everyone that the operation wasn't done yet. They lost alot of blood and would need blood donors if they didn't have their specific blood type. Everyone just let Terri and Katelyn sleep soundly while the doctor headed back into the OR.
----10 hours later once again----
Doctor - The operation was a success. ( everyone sighs and thank gods were said throughout the group ). But they need bone marrow ( i don't know the correct medical term for his )transplants. Fortunately, we have enough bone marrow for their blood type ( O+ ? ). We're going through the procedure right away ( They woke up Terri and Katelyn before the doc came in so they could eat and be awake when he came ).
Joey - Thank you Doctor. ( Terri and Katelyn cried happily and hugged each other. Everyone else just smiled inside and out when they heard the news ).

over of what happened during their hospital stay
The hospital managed to get donors after they ran out of O+ bone marrow. Erik and his daughter went into cardiac arrest twice but the doctors managed to get them stable each time.** Terri plated ' You'll be in my heart.' by Phil Collins during their coma. 4 days before their release, Erik and Desiree slipped into another coma. This time Terri played "I knew I loved you.' by Savage Garden and they re-entered the waking world. They were released 4 days before Erik's birthday. Desiree and her dad rested up until his birthday while Terri and everyone were planning a welcome home party for them.
Chris, meanwhile, was steaming mad. He re-figured out his plan and decided to strike November 31st. Chris knew that he had to lay low for awhile or the police would catch him if the next time he had originally planned to go over there which was Erik's birthday. ' I'm not giving up that easy Erik. I'm gonna get my girl back no mater what it takes. Next time you and your brats may not be so lucky. Terri is mine and nothing is gonna change that. I would have had if it hadn't of been for my stupid ex-friends.' he mused as he watched TV.
